Egyptians did archery dating back over 5,000 years. Other people

and armies over east also used archery, including the Chinese, the

Japanese. The Native American tribes were also very good at

archery. Various woods and bones were used for the bows. The string

might have been of sinew or of linen/flax thread. The arrows would

had feathers, and would either have had a flint head attached with

sinew, or simply had the end of the arrow shaft itself shaped to a

point.
